This flexible dew shield extends the tube past the lens or corrector plate, causing it to lose less heat to the open sky and condensation to occur much later or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Omegon-Flexibele-dauwkap-8-225-245mm-OTA-.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Flexible Dew Shield 8 inch (235 to 255 mm)\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Omegon-Flexibele-dauwkap-4-115-135mm-OTA-1.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Flexible Dew Shield 8 inch (235 to 255 mm)\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Velvet on the inside<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interior is lined with black velvet. This suppresses stray light from streetlights and the moon, and at the same time slows down the cooling of the optics. So, a double win: more contrast and less dew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rollable and adjustable<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flexible plastic outer layer keeps the cover lightweight and makes it rollable for transport or storage. The hook-and-loop fastener is adjustable, so small differences in tube diameter are not a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note the sizing: the inch designation refers to the optics the cap is intended for, and the millimeter range is the outer diameter of the tube.
